We know people say the world is going to end some day. Some count on a 10.5 earth quake, global warming, a new ice age, a supernova of the sun....aliens...ha.
How do you think it will end?

Well.... A lot of that depends on what you mean by 'coming to an end'. If you just mean 'life as we know it', hang around a hundred million years and we (along with pretty much everything else) will have evolved into something quite different than what's here today.
If you mean the extinction of all life.... In a few billion more years, the Sun will finish consuming most of it's fuel and become a 'red giant' whose photosphere will reach out almost ot the orbit of Mars. Then Earth (along with Venus and Mercury) will be mostly vaporized blobs of molten rock and metals.
And, of course, we just *may* manage to kill ourselves off. In which case the cockroaches (which have been around essentially uinchanged for about 3.5 billion years) will probably take over or one of our closer primate cousins may start to develop intelligence. Who knows?

Do you mean the end of humankind or the actual end of the planet? If it's the planet, then I think it will only occur when the Sun dies and expands to an enormous size before imploding on itself. When it expands, it will vaporize us all. If it's the end of humankind you are talking about, personally I think it'll be either a collision with a comet or asteroid. These events are considered to be extinction events in the history of the world and let's face it: it is bound to happen eventually. All the bodies flying through space and us on this little planet....
This is my opinion (unless mankind wipes himself out totally).

We will drown in molten cheese when the moon crashes into us.
Most probably NOT by global warming. I think people must be absolutely stupid to think humans can control nature like that. Global warmers must be very vain to think like that.

i had a dream of it one day-- or night lol.. and people in the city i was in were all meeting in large buildings that had large t.v's--- on the t.v's was a satellite image of earth- which i figured out now it is "google earth"----
we all watched (but not all because many people were in the parking lot with tons of badly parked cars- partying and.. kissing *lol) -- but the watchers watched with many across the whole world as missiles- or sumthing-from the outer spaces came down to certain points of the earth. i guess the point was to watch as a misile came down and hit the part of the world were "you" were at.... im pretty sure i remember thinking that i had no clue which one was maybe hitting "us" because i Suck at geography..! so i went into the parking lot lol (that part was kindof a joke :--) -- this answer will be made into a question if your interested :D

global warming. it is going to cause mass chaos like floods, droughts, malaria, huge storms and the ice caps will melt causing an ice age. and if global warming keeps happening at the rate it is now, the world will end in im guessing 50 to 100 years

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Read the Bible. and you will know. the signsof the end of the world or of man(either the two) is Famine, Earthquakes, the rising of a nation against a nation etc.
maybe you should visit www.angdatingdaan.org to know how.

honestly...i think it will be a combination of natural disasters and the collapse of human economy..like sewage systems aray, no clean water and no food supply. stuff like that. or maybe some outer space stuff hitting the earth.
global warming as well.
